I'm not sure why he made the concession, except to attract potential buyers of his high end equipment.
USB technology focuses on jitter reduction. The Audio Note philosophy is a) you can't hear low level jitter and b) the cure is worse than the disease, if there is one.
I have an entry-level USB Dac that sounds very good with my headphone amp, but does not mate at all well with my Audio Note equipment, and does not come close to matching the sound produced by my AN digital front end. A recent review in Stereophile shows that my AN CD4.1x measures very poorly, by the way, compared to my USB Dac, both reviewed by Art Dudley.
Observe, don't think

Hi Fri,
At one point on their site they mentioned that the usb was a "a highly requested option". I couldnt find it there now but it has to be the case. AFAIK Audio Note does listen to its customer base.
Much like the rest of audio it often takes an investment to get results. Computer audio is no different IME and it takes an investment to get better results than a good cdp but it can be done.
Afterwards we discovered faith; it's all you need
